Quotations for deer

Why, let the stricken deer go weep,
The heart ungalled play;
For some must watch, while some must sleep;
Thus runs the world away. [ William Shakespeare ]

As well the noble savage of the field
Might tamely couple with the fearful ewe;
Tigers might engender with the timid deer;
Wild, muddy boars defile the cleanly ermine,
Or vultures sort with doves; as I with thee. [ Lee ]

Brave as lions in peace, timid as deer in war.

Parasites pitch up toils to catch deer in a platter. [ Proverb ]

Where the deer is slain there will some of his blood lie. [ Proverb ]

Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer. [ Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts ]
